You're right.
[ Yuri thinks of an idea and gets up from her swing and it looks like she's about to leave, but stands behind Shu instead and gives him a light push. Does the swing move or not because Shu's legs are too long... ]
Life would be relatively fine if you lived in a nest. Those areas are actually protected by the corporations as long as they work to earn it. Some areas had schools. I barely managed to go to one, but...
[ Shu goes uuuup and hiiiigher. ]
I ended up working for L Corporation for a long time. It was an underground building, so I didn't see sunshine for years.
Like an upper class neighbourhood versus a downtown one with less funding? [ he's getting the impression that's the big difference in the City, just... amped up to 11. ]
Underground? [ hm. ]
Guess if you have somethng to hide, putting it out of line of sight's the way to do it.
Yes, something similar to that. People in Nests sometimes made it a habit to watch the Backstreets from their houses as if they were watching television.
[ Shu goes even hiiiigher... maybe he's almost parallel to the ground at the highest point now. ]
... Yeah, people do that when they're in some kind of place of protection or privilege I guess. Wonder if they think it's a way of reminding them what they're trying to avoid.
But yes, I pretty much lived underground for a long time, so I didn't get to see the outside world for a while. Though... I would say so much changed, but at the same time... not really.
And then you ended up in space. From one extreme to the other.
...
It feels that way about a lot of places. When I travelled with Teach, we'd go back to some places now and again. Even if it'd been years, they felt familiar.
[ it says a lot, really. that even with everything going on here, this is where she'd prefer to be. ]
You can see the stars, at least. You've already said you're not going back to the City, a few times. But-- I'm guessing another Tour is off the table after everything that's happened.
If I didn't have any options, I would still stay here. However, Scien gave me an option to go to his world to work as his research assistant. I have until the end of the tour to decide...
[ Yuri pauses to think on something, but she forgot Shu was still on a moving swing, so she gets smacked and falls on the small tire pieces on her back. She lets out a startled yelp. ]
I think you could go wherever you wanted. If this company can forge contracts for us, they can forge you identification for wherever you wanted. Or you get yourself a good enough hacker to do it for you -- bound to be a few around here, and I know one as well.
[ the worlds, essentially, are her oyster.
and then she gets knocked over and he's like oh. using his foot to drag the swing to a stop, he hops off and rounds the set to crouch down next to her. ]
[ i caught up with trial and i was like I See. and lowe calling it a tramp stamp. ]
…
[ well, he’ll hop off the swing and come and lie down next to her. may the dirt claim them, etc, etc. ]
Mm. He’s the computer guy — kinda like Luke, I guess. If I have to make a comparison. If all these versions of Earth are similar, he could fake papers for you. They’d probably work wherever you wanted to go, as long as it’s Earth in some way.

My hair's pretty thick. That might have something to do with it.

[ Yuri reaches out with her hand that goes under all that hair and tries to brush through Shu's left side of his hair with her fingers.
Oh, wow. ]
no subject
See?
[ i have no idea if he uses gel. it's funnier to me if he doesn't and his hair is just like that. ]

Yuri withdraws her hand, slightly embarrassed that she did that without thought. ]
It really is... I'm amazed.

Eh, Throné could've been meaner about worse. But it's a shame she got on the network like that when that curse was active.

no subject
oh. well, his long otome legs are kinda in the way, but he'll move them so she actually moves him when she pushes the swing. ]
Nice of them to add actual park stuff to the giant park.

Careful. Did you hit your head?
no subject
[ oof. She got hit on the stomach from the swing impact (this will be a funny story to tell during trial), but she's generally okay otherwise. ]
Sorry, I... spaced out for a moment.
[ But she'll stay there, lying down on the tire pieces. ]
I remember you telling me. I think you mentioned his name was Scarecrow...?
